Why Vaccinate Your Child
It is extremely important to ensure your child receives all vaccinations on schedule. The recommended vaccination schedule has been designed to protect infants and young children when they are the most vulnerable, and before they become exposed to vaccine-preventable diseases.
If infants are exposed to such diseases, they face a greater risk of complications because their immune systems are not yet developed, and lack the ability to fight off infection. Such diseases are often very serious and potentially life threatening.
